Step-by-Step Method

4-step method
01

Sauté the aromatics

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the margarine, then add the fresh onion and green pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until slightly softened.

02

Cook the squash

Add the sliced yellow squash. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme. Cook for 8–10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the squash is tender but not mushy.

03

Finish with lemon

Lower the heat and drizzle in the lemon juice. Toss for 1 minute, then take it off the heat. If your squash is very thinly sliced, start checking a bit earlier.

04

Serve

Serve warm as a simple vegetable side. It also works well alongside grilled chicken or fish.
